Hello,

I am a developper of this tool. I would like to announce that we have the detailed manual in English language.

Well, it may need some refinements, but we have it now.

Hello again,

I am the developer of this tool. Today, I would like to announce that we have new detailed tutorial analysing Anne of Green Gables!

Part I: http://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/file.jsp?id=325881

Part II: http://www.ritsumei.ac.jp/file.jsp?id=346128

This article introduces a two-step approach to performing quantitative content analysis of text data. First, an outline of the approach is briefly described. Second, the procedure of using the approach to analyze the novel Anne of Green Gables is described as a tutorial. Third, the features of the approach are discussed with reference to the results of the analysis.

The tutorial section allows readers to simulate the same analysis on their own personal computers. We use free software and most of the necessary operations are illustrated in figures. The subject of the analysis is the popular novel Anne of Green Gables. It is pointed out that the heroine Anne’s foster mother Marilla plays an essential role in the novel and that Marilla is more important than Anne's best friend Diana, and Gilbert with whom Anne has a faint romance. In the analysis of the tutorial, we examine whether the quantitative analysis based on the two-step approach also illustrates the importance of Marilla.
